Publication number: 20240047899Abstract: A flush-mounted plug connector is suitable for use in a battery management system. A plug connector housing has an assembly flange for assembling the plug on a housing wall of a housing, e.g. of the battery management system. A plug contact is integrated into the plug connector housing. The plug contact has a plug-in axis, a plug-in region, and a cable connection region. The cable connection region can be connected to the battery management system via a connection cable which is designed as a high-current cable. The cable connection region is designed as a crimp connection such that the plug contact is a crimp contact which is held in the plug connector housing in a rotatable manner about the plug-in axis at least during the assembly process, and after being assembled, the integrated crimp contact can be disassembled again by means of a disassembly tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: HARTING Electric Stiftung & Co.

Patent number: 11095073Abstract: A locking clip for plug housings has a rear wall and side parts formed on the rear wall. The locking clip has a U-shaped cross-section. The side parts each have a mounting receptacle, by which the locking device can be pivotably mounted on the plug housing. The locking device has an embossment directed toward the plug housing in the region of each mounting receptacle. Thus, the locking device is not supported on the plug body over the full surface, and therefore a lower-wear locking operation is ensured. A system includes a first plug housing and a second plug housing and a locking clip. The locking clip is pivotably mounted on the first plug housing by mounting pins. The locking clip can be locked on the second plug housing on locking pins. The locking clip touches the plug housings only at the mounting pins and at the locking pins.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: HARTING Electric GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 10950976Abstract: Disclosed is a connector assembly having a first connector part and a second connector part. The first connector part includes a lever mounted on a base body of the first connector part for pivotable movement about a pivot axis (C) between first and second positions relative to the base body. The connector assembly can be brought from a ready-to-mate state into a mated state by relative movement of the first and second connector parts towards each other along a connection axis and vice versa. At least one engaging portion of the lever interacts with at least one counter-engaging portion of the second connector part in such a way, that the connector assembly is forcibly brought from the mated to the ready-to-mate state by pivoting the lever from the first position into the second position when the connector assembly is in the mated state.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2017Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Inventors: Chuansheng Ding, Alexander Schönfeld, Sebastian Griepenstroh, Dieter Riepe, Heiko Meier, Florian Hackemeier
